Summer / Lightweight Breeches

[Tarandes Bear]

After some new breeches (must be breeches, hate jodhpurs!), for the cooler months. Would say 'summer' but I'm afraid to tempt fate! Currently got Mark Todd Euro Seat which are the updated version of the old Gisborne. They are not so nice since the update and keep falling down at the crotch! Also got a pair of JW but they are too nylon and too sweaty and leave me with a rather nice damp patch on the back of my bum, which my daughter STILL finds funny and has to shout out so everyone around can hear. Prefer my breeches to be on my waist or just above so no recommendations for low slung hipsters, I can't rock that look anymore I'm getting to that age ! lol

I too am a fan of the old Mark Todd Gisborne. Recently brought a pair of these:

Not quite a stretchy as the Mark Todd's but smart and comfortable.

Thank you! They look ok! How do the sizes compare with MT's? I wear a 30" in them. Are they lightweight & nice & thin?

Caldene Madrid. i loved my first pair so much that I bought a second pair immediately. Nice high waist, lightweight, but supportive material, and they hold their shape very well. i have one coffee coloured pair, and one blue/grey. Love em!

Ariat Olympia - they are not very high waisted, but have a very clever, supportive design; the material is nice, light, stretchy but flattering.
